Gapes I'm Chfckens.

Gapes in chickens is the result Of worms
in the throat, and removal of the worms
is a cure for the disease. This Is most
commonly effected by passing a quill
feather dipped in turpentine into the
throat and twisting 1t around until the
worms are dislodged. What causes these
worms Is not clearly understood. Fumi-
eating with carbolic acid is recommended
in bad cases by good authority in poul-
try ailments. but care must be taken that
the chicks are not suffocated by contin-
uing the treatment too long.

Fruit Packages.

The refusal Of the commission of New
York city to return to fruit growers their
peach baskets, on the plea that it is too
much trouble to look after these, and the
refusal of the growers to give away their
fruit packages, on the plea that they can
not afford it, Is causing no end of dissat-
isfaction. At recent convention Of fruit
growers of Delaware and Maryland res
olution was adopted to dispense with the
services Of all middlemen and make efforts
to get buyers to deal with the growers at
their own orchards. 1t was resolued to
organize branches of the fruit exchange
at all shipping points in the peninsula,
and by every means to discourage the
shipment of peaches on consignment; to
sell only to commission men who viii
agree to pay five cents each for all baskets
not returned.

The Silver Lining of the Cloud.
Harper's Weekly.]

Harpers Weekly.I
The incident of "the rebel flags" has had
one excellent result. 1t has shown the ex-
treme difficulty of reopening the sectional
issue, and has revealed the good sense of
the people and the press in the Southern
States. The tone of everything that has
been said there upon the subject certainly
compares favorably with the hysteri ical
outbursts of many men and papers in the
Northern States. The order itself was un-
wise, because it was not in harmony with
public sentiment in this part of the Union;
and it was an error, because the question
of the disposition of the flags should be
decided by Congress. But the ATTEMPT to
show that the order showed the secret
sympathy of the President with rebellion
and disposition to pander to disloyalty,
or that the incident had any significance
whatever except that of desire to con-
firm existing good feeling, has totally
failed

A Simple Cure for Rheumatism.

A correspondent of the English Mechanic

agonizing pain in less than fifteen minutes,
and she can now walk very fairly, and in
a couple of days she will be able to button
her boots, and walk without q stick or
crutch:
One quart of milk, quite hot, into which
stir l ounce of alum; this makes eurds
and whey. Battle the part affected with
the whey until too cold. In the mean
time keep the curds hot, and after bathing,
put them on as poultice, wrap in flannel,
and-go to sleep (you CAM. Three appli-
cations should be q perfect cure, even in

The big dairy and butter show held re-

that during the five days of the show
over 10000 people visited it. While
there was fair exhibit of dairy imple

the show was the large number of choice
animals selected for exhibition from
the best herds of improved breeds in the
country Five hundred cattle were ex
hibited, representing in dollars and cents
100000. Nearly one-half of these were
Jerseys.
The famous old Jersey Eurotas was the
center of attraction among the Jerseys.
Her fame came, it will be remembered,
with an astonishing butter test that lasted
through the year. She gave 77S pounds
and one ounce of butter In eleven months
and six days and had fine calf within
the year. This performance has only re-

An important lesson to be learned or

the sum of $92.89. The answer further
sets out "that the said Williams is a
laborer in our employ, being engaged by
US as a clerk in our mercantile house,
and the sum of $92.89 represents an ac-
cumulation of wages in our hands, be-
longing to said Williams, and earned by

his claim, and on issue Joined on the
answer of the garnishees, the court
found in favor of Link, administrator.
The claimant, Williams, appealed.

The "laborer," whose wages to the
amount of one hundred dollars are ex-
empt from garnishment by Sec. 1914 of
the code is zone who subsists by physi-
cal toll in distinction from one who
subsists by professional skill" Where
physical toll is the main ingredient of
services rendered, although directed
and made more valuable by skill, the
person performing them is laborer

Barnyard Manure.

The amount of manure which an animal
will drop, and which can be saved and
used for fertiliZing purposes, will, of
course, vary with the size of the animal
and the amount of food eaten. 1t will
vary in weight from one-half to two-thirds
of the weight of food and water consumed
and bedding used. II, says The National
Live Stock Journal, all the liquids and
solids are saved, liberal estimate would
be $50 to 175 pounds daily for an average
sized cow or OK. This, of course, means
their weight just as they are voided.
Practically, however large per cent. of
the droppings is allowed to go to waste,
and quite generally all the urine Is lost.
How much the loss is may be inferred
by the following table, giving German
estimate of the weight of droppings, liquid
and solid, by the several animals named,
during the year:
Cow Horse Sheep Pig

In excrements. 5000 1900 7o0 1900
In urine. .....- 5000 1900 $50 1900
5000 5000 i.14 5000
To indicate what may be considered ap-
proximately the amount of solid and liquid
droppings from given amount of food,
the animals of course having all the water
they want to drink, we give another table
from the same authority, as follows:

for bedding, and we have a general ap-

named.

The worries of a Diplomat.

Washington Dispatch to the Indianapolis Jour
nall
'sOnly old men, or those who have passed
beyond the meridian of life, and who do not
think of pursuing business vocations. ought
to go into the diplomatic or consular SER
vice." said the Hon. Rufus Magee, of Indi-
ana, now minister to Sweden and Norway,
and who has been here on Official business
for several days. "While the service gives
one a great deal of interesting experience
and information, it gives him nothing that
he can utilize in the practical work of life.
It units him for any kind of business, and
after season abroad he returns to his native
country lost to the avenues of usefulness.
Had known before entered the diplomatic
service what it really was / should not have
entered it. But am now in it, have had
two years of it and intend to serve out my
term.
at is absolutely impossible for minister
or consul to get ahead financially in the ser
post and has any respect for the dignity of
the position he occupies. It doesn't make
any difference what his salary is The more
salary he draws the greater the dignity of
his Office, the more his expenses and the
same results financially. Our minister to
hundred dollars, tells me he pays twenty five
thousand dollars to live there. Belgium is a
very expensive place to live in. Then the
people in the diplomatic and consular service
have to pay from twenty five to forty per
cent. more for what they get than anybody
else.
''My landlord charges me more than any
body else, and when 1 go into the market or
send anyone the dealers ascertain that it is
for American that the purchases are made
and put up the prices. They believe we are
made of gold, and it is impossible to make
them know we care for prices.
Recently l went into store in Sweden
and asked the price of some articles When
they were named 1 refused to buy, saying the
prices were too high. The merchant looked
